- Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Throw chuck roasts into a large, heavy pot.

- If the sun dried tomatoes are packed in oil, drizzle in about a tablespoon of the oil.
- Add onions, garlic cloves and beef broth, then place the lid on the pot and cook in the oven for four hours.
- Remove the pot after four hours and use a fork to confirm that the meat is falling apart/fork tender.
- (If not, put back into the oven for 30 minute increments until totally tender.)
- With a slotted spoon, remove the peppers, artichokes, onions, garlic, and sundried tomatoes and place them in a separate container.
- Remove the meat and place it in another separate containers.
- Cover the containers holding the veggies and meat and refrigerate them several hours or overnight.
- Place the lid on the pot and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight.
- When youre ready to serve the roast, remove the meat and veggie bowls from the fridge and nuke them just to heat them up.
- Set aside.
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions.
- Drain and set aside.
- Remove the pot from the fridge and carefully skim off the solidified fat from the top of the liquid.
- Discard the fat.
- Mix flour with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and set aside.
- Add wine to the cooking liquid then bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Boil the liquid for several minutes, until it reduces by at least half.
- When bubbles appear all over the surface of the liquid, drizzle in a tablespoon or so of the flour paste.
- Check thickness: if its too liquidy, continue to boil for another minute or two.
- If its too thick, add some more broth or water.
- You want to wind up with a rich, thick liquid/gravy.
- Arrange cooked noodles on a large platter and arrange chunks of the meat and the intact artichoke hearts and peppers (and garlic cloves!)
- all around the meat.
- Spoon the thick gravy all over the top and sprinkle on minced fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately!
- Very, very flavorful.
